The landscape-led site masterplan for Durhamgate creates an attractive green setting for both residential and commercial development plots. Working with our client Colour were appointed to provide landscape design services for the first commercial development to be realised on the site.
Our
scheme for the headquarter site delivered their aspirations for a prestigious
working environment, including some smaller 'snug' spaces where staff can relax
and socialise outside of the office on finer days. The design also responded to
the strategic vision of the wider site masterplan.
